Through this project, the Asian Development Bank will support the Government of Nepal in its efforts to put thousands of children back into schools, return vital government services to desperate communities, and create jobs and income for families by repairing critical road networks. The project will rebuild or repair least 700 schools damaged by the earthquake. The schools that are rebuilt or repaired under the project will include stronger construction and engineering specifications that are designed to help the structures withstand future disasters.
